Very good!! Now maybe the greatness of the women’s soccer will rub off on the men’s and they can win a few games this fall at the World Cup. Maybe?!!

Finally, only one of those teams has ever made it to the World Cup (multiple times and won) and it aint the mens team

But the mens team bring in double the number of viewers when they play?! How does that work… it’s called supply and demand.

Good for them, truly. They’ve likely been underpaid in the past. So this is like a restitution for past years. In the end, the most popular players will get higher wages based on sponsorships. But the base pay will be equal ❤️
